I've always been "controlling" and bossy towards my sisters and family, but at the same time kind and generous. Then, in school with my friends im totally different. Im always laughing and having fun. Lately, i've noticed somethings wrong with me but i have no idea of what it could be!!
I just finished freshman year which is a relief
summer is here
i have a boyfriend
everything seems to be fine...i just can't figure out why i get sad. So many people (in my family) always tell me to smile and let loose.
somethings wrong with me, and i need help... =/
...thank you

well, it could be a few things. it could be that there is something missing in your life, and is waiting for you to find out what it is. it could be anything. try to dig deep into your sual and put you first. second, it could be simply that you are afraid of something. weather its failer, or even afraid of losing someone, this is very common. most people with this act contoling, and get very sad. or lastly, you might have some kind of form of depression. that is ok. everyone does. life gets stressful. sometimes we just need a break but can't afford one. life just flies by to fast and we can't catch are breath. so just try to take everyday one step at a time.

I find your rating interesting, across the board you are all over the place. I am not insulted by your response, I expected it. There is only one person who really answered your question, (me), yet you rate people who say the same thing to you, over and over again, both high and low. You must have read my response to you with out thinking about it, or was it too long for you? I am Gilbert Mar, my daughter is Cassiopia, she wrote the second response. I am sorry you can't see past your desire to kill yourself and to be frank, what I know precludes me from trying to talk you out of it. You accused me of being religious and having a Belief, you could not possibly understand. Belief denotes doubt, I do not believe, I know. My spirit is an ancient and I have spent my life learning what it knows. If you kill yourself, your spirit will only return to start again, but it will effect many other lives. You have a duty to your spirit and many others here in this life, you have no idea how many lives you will touch in your life time yet to come.
Again, be well my friend and read my post again, your meaning is within it. Gilbert Mar

i'm utterly confused by this letter.

yea.

so ive had this health teacher and i thought he was the coolest person ever. and then he said today:

"...males are only on earth to reproduce.."

.

this statement. it...it makes me want to kill myself. im a 15 year old boy and i thought about that sentence DEEPLY for a LONG TIME, and i think i should kill myself. my life is a lie. they say eat healthy and stay in shape yet everyone dies anyway, and thanks to that statement i rly am questioning whehter or not i should go on in life.


idk. any statements?

i'm sorry your teacher said that. he was making a cruel, false, statement. he is bitter and egotistal not to mention full of ingrence. don't let people like him try and discourage you. you are put on here for a purpose and it isn't just to reproduce. its to acheive your dreams and goals. don't be effended anymore. show him that his insults mean nothing to you, asnd he'll quit. i garentee it.

I can't handle this. My boyfriend of 7 months and I broke up a few weeks ago. Since the day we called it quits, I haven't been able to sleep normally or function in school. I'm constantly thinking about him or getting jealous over every girl he hugs. Its not that I even have feelings for him, its that I hate that he's happy and I'm not. I get headaches so much and I'm constantly battling with myself to stop thinking about him. I try to do things to fake happy to rub in his face, or to make him jealous, and nothing works. How do I get my life back and just forget about him?

well, the first step is to face the truth about your feelings for him. if it is bothering you so much and you get jelious and he is always on your mind, then the truth is that you do still have feelings for him. confront those feelings. be aware of what those feelings are. once you have done that, decide if you still want him back or not. if you do, then talk to him about it. try to get through it. if you decide you don't want him back, but you don't want anyone else to have him either, then my advice to you is to try and put him past you. if you still have feelings for him, it'll be hard not to think about him. the best way to stop thinking about him, is don't talk about him, don't talk to him, and try to move on. don't try to pretend you are happy if you are really not, because you won't be able to find happiness by pretending. and don't try to make him jelious, because that is just playing games, and it will end up heurting you in the end. so, just confront your feelings, talk to him about it if you think it'll help, and then just let the healing process begin. i hope i helped. remember to keep smiling.

ok so i am 20 f and i recently mustered the courage to go to a counselor and tell her i am having personal issues with my family and roommate and stuff. thing is i don't think it has to do with "my constant change in environment" "trauma" or "confinement". granted they may have a role in playing crucial issues in why i am going mad... but after two sessions she thinks i don't need counseling anymore! i mean i told her i hear the voices when i am alone and i told her about my mood swings and my extra sensitivity to what people say.... she gave me a self help book and boom... i know i can seem very collected and very mature but thats because i hate other people knowing that there is something wrong with me. its a habit now and i fear if i say anything they'll think i made it up to get attention or something... anyway so i want to tell her that i am sure i get anxiety attacks at night and that the only way to calm myself is getting out in the am and walking in the city! i do that some times when it gets really bad but i can't do that all the time there is a rapist on the lose you know!! 3 bodies and a hospitalized girl were found near by :s i want to tell her what i am feeling but i don't want it to seem like this girl who has it good is craving for attention you know? the drama queen... i think i may need prescription or something it's getting out of hand.... help! what should i say?

when talking to your counciler, try to be as honest as you can on how you feel. i know you wanna hold back, but don't. she isn't gonna think your seeking attention. if you are having anxiety attacks, then you should tell her as soon as possible because even tho they are common in most people they can lead to other mental/emotional problems. i promice you are not crazy, don't think that. life gets really stressful, sometimes unbearable, but try to be open and honest when talking about it. if you beat around the bush, and don't tell your counciler what is truely inside your head, then she will suspect an attention getter. but she is there to diagnose you and help you figure out your problems, not to judge you. it might be you need medicine, it might be you need to seek another counciler, or might just be you need someone to help you through your problems without medicine. but be completely honest and i hope this helps. good luck and keep smiling!

for a while now i have been feeling very tired all the time. I am a very talkative person and i act happy around most people. however i have no interest to do a lot of things except watch TV. Everything makes me sad and like i will get really sad about absolutely nothing. i mean im happy sometimes but lately i have been even sadder. I cry at night but i dont really know why. I kind of cut my wrists but i dont actually make them bleed i just kind of irritate them with scissors because i like the feeling after, it makes the sadness kind of go away temporarily. Nothing that could hurt me though.

Am i depressed or not?

14/f btw.

ok. honestly, i believe you might have some sort of depression. my advice to you is to go to a doctor, tell them your sympthoms, and let them diagnose you. it is common for kids your age to be depressed. but it could also be something more serious, that could lead to another scicosic.( a panic attack, anxiaty dissorder.etc) so, go to the doctors, get checked, and go from there. if you need any advice on how to deal with any of those diagnosis, contact me. i will be happy to help you. remember to keep on smiling!

Ok, so i have a phobia, or many I guess, that is related to anything medical... Like, doctors, deseases, even pregnat ladies make me uncomfortable.
And it's really hard because if you notice, everything nowadays has medical stuff. Like on TV, there are so many hospital/doctor shows, like House and ER... And the commercials, like the anti-smoking commercials where they show details the inside of someones lungs or something, im not sure.. i can't watch it or i'll have a panic attack.
When I was younger, I thought it was just a phase and that i'd get over this when i'm older, but now i'm 19 and it's gotten so much worse... I'm even scared of dentist now and therapist.... I don't even know why!!!
But I can't take pills, I'm too paranoid for that.
I can't have sex because i'm terrified of the thought of getting pregnant..
So what happens when I encounter all this stuff is that I have panic attacks and pass out!
And I want help, BUUUT I have too much anxiety to get any help also.
I'm getting older and this anxiety is holding me back on a lot of things...

So my question is, does anyone know what this/these phoia's are called??

Also, how can this be cured? I know therapy, or something, but what are the steps that you go through??

Thanks, so much.

hello, my name is nina. i am not sure excacly how else to help, except, i did some research and found these links with answers of what your phobias are called, and hot to treat them. so try these out, and i hope they are some help to you. Good luck sweety, and remember to keep smiling!

im 15/f, and though i dont think i've ever had an anxiety attack, lately, when i feel uncomfortable, my body gets hot [specially my chest], and even though i take deep breaths i end up having to go outside to get some cold air. i sweat a little because of the heat but i dont tremble. i also feel my heart skip a beat and then beat faster, out of nowhere. i dont know what's wrong with me,i suffer from depression but i dont think this is serious, but i would still like some advice. thanks in advance =].

if you are suffering from anxiaty attacks, and it sounds like you are, your best bet is to go to the doctors and let them diagnos you. because it sounds like you might have some kind of anxiaty dissorder, and will need medication to prevent it. this is not something to worry about, and it is very common in woman, even teenage girls. so, please tell your parents about it. state your concern and plead your case that it would be your best bet to get treatment for this situation. all though it might not be serious at the time, anxiaty attacks, and panic attacks, can cause othe complications. so, go to the doctors, seek help, and try not to be too stressed out. and always remember to keep smiling.
